Safwa Specialty Cafe
Specialty coffee, matcha, and a teahouse menu — served in a warm, arched room at 149 Pierce Street.
The Somerset shop
Our flagship cafe — and where Safwa began.
Tucked into the heart of Somerset, New Jersey, Safwa Specialty Cafe is a specialty coffee shop and teahouse built for lingering. Sculpted archways, pampas grass, and warm pendant light make a room that's equal parts study spot, meeting place, and neighborhood living room.
We roast in-house and pull every espresso to order — from Spanish lattes to matcha, chai, and saffron drinks — alongside a case of fresh baklava, tiramisu, croissants, and savory bites. Open early and open late, seven days a week.
